Arizona Citizens Defense League expands raffle opportunities

Posted on by

2015ARPistol1bARIZONA —– The Arizona Citizens Defense League, responsible for many positive gun laws enacted in Arizona, initially held a raffle for two custom-made AR-15 pistols. Online demand for the tickets was so huge that half of the tickets were sold in two days. They reported in an e-mail that they had to pull tickets that were reserved for an upcoming gun show to meet the demand.

AzCDL has ordered two more of the custom-built AR-15 pistols built by Forward Operating Base in Phoenix, Arizona. The AzCDL logo is laser etched on the lower of each pistol. The pistols are chambered for the 5.56 NATO round and include the following features:

  • SigTac stabilizing arm brace (SB 15)
  • Quentin Defense Billet ambidextrous lower receiver, slick side upper receiver and 3 pound trigger
  • Ambidextrous safety selector
  • QD rear takedown pin with swivel
  • Ambidextrous sling attachment end plate
  • GunTec rubber pistol grip and back up iron sights
  • 7” Veriforce match grade billet stainless steel barrel with cone flash can muzzle device
  • 10” Key-Mod free float rail
  • 550 cord 2 point to 1 point convertible sling
  • Magpul 30 round window magazine

What this means is that the AzCDL is now holding two concurrent raffles for four of the AR-15 pistols. Each ticket is only $10 and represents two chances of winning one of the AR-15 handguns. Only 900 tickets will be sold for each raffle.

Winners must comply with all federal, state, and local laws, and must pick up the firearms from a federally licensed (FFL) firearms dealer. If a winner does not qualify for the possession of these firearms, their ticket is invalid and a new winner will be drawn.

Contact AzCDL for more information.

You can order tickets, books, memberships and other items from the AzCDL online store.

Springfield lists XD-S at new low price with Essentials kit

Posted on by

xd-9mm-4-inchSpringfield Armory is now offering the XD-S single-stack subcompact concealed-carry pistols in 9mm and .45 ACP at a lower price with the Essentials kit.

Like previous Essentials kits offered with the standard XD series, the XD-S Essentials package doesn’t come with as many accessories in order to deliver a lower price point. This is a smart move on Springfield’s part as many customers will take the savings over a couple of basic holsters any day.

The Essentials kits include a pistol, one flush-fitting magazine and one extended mag, two sizes of backstraps and grip extensions, a cable lock, a bore brush and a locking hard case. The minimum to keep and maintain the gun not including ammo or lube.

The changes are expected to knock as much as $100 off the sticker making the XD-S series even more appealing for concealed-carry. Springfield is offering the complete XD-S series with Essentials kits including 3.3-inch and 4-inch models in both calibers and finishes.

In 9mm these kits come with Springfield’s new “Mid-Mag” extended eight-round magazine instead of the original nine-round extended mag that should prove a little easier to conceal. And more options are always welcome with seven-, eight- and nine-round mags now on table for the 9mm pistols.

The .45 ACP magazines are still the same with five-round flush mags and six-round extended mags. As far as the guns themselves are concerned Springfield isn’t rolling out any changes to the XD-S sold with Essentials kits.
